>> reporter: in stadiums along the east coast today the players on nfl teams weren't just tackling each other, they had to take on weather conditions as well. >> calvin johnson makes the catch! >> reporter: clearing the snow

on an n.f.l. field is easy compared to getting the roads primed and ready for a storm that one virginia official called an historic ice event. in westminster, maryland, salt truck could not match the storm's intensity. this pickup truck slid off the road and it was going to take a lot more than this to get it back on track. in northern virginia it's rocco's job to keep traffic moving even in icy conditions. >> yes, the temperatures continue to drop, our concern intensifies we have almost 2,000 vehicles out there in northern virginia. we're monitoring the situation both through cameras and through feedback from our folks there. >> reporter: and they're already seeing signs of trouble. this late fall storm has been moving up from the south, barreling toward the east coast. the weekend kept pain cars and trucks off the road. but monday morning's commute is expected to be different. in northern virginia, as many as 2 million vehicles are expected on the roads heading back to work. here in washington the snow has stopped but what we're seeing is sleet and rain. jeff, the concern is overnight the temperatures will drop,

roads will turn to ice and ice cumulating will bring down power lines. >> glor: all right, jeff pegues, thank you. for more on all of this we are joined by the meteorologist from our chicago station wbbm now. megan what happens next? >> well, jeff, areas that were hit so hard earlier today with very heavy snow, places like washington and philadelphia will now slowly transition to a rain- snow mix. sleet, freezing rain, all a possibility there. that happens during the overnight so that leads into a morning community that will include all of the above and potential ice accumulation from d.c. to philadelphia. new york starts the snow and then sees a wintery mix as well there as the snow continues to spread north then eventually those milder temperatures will bring about a bit of an issue in terms of boston later. looking at the forecast lows tonight among the nation, four below in minneapolis and the deep chill continues for much of the country. >> glor: megan, thank you. in some of those places that are

bitterly cold, ice problems continue. over 2,000 flights were cancelled nationwide today. texas saw a bit but we saw this video a short time ago. outside an apartment building in plaino, one neighbor captured sheets of ice cascading down from the roof. no one was hurt. >> in south africa it was called a national day of prayer and reflection for nelson mandela. today also marks the beginning of an eight day series of events that could stretch south africa's resources to its limits. bill whitaker is in johannesburg. >> glor: across south africa people raised their voices in song, and prayer for nelson mandela. the first black president, the first democratically elected president was remembered today by south africans of all races. i'm comforted by the react of the people of the country and

the world. >> reporter: civil rights lawyer george bizos was mandela's attorney and friend. >> he was an example to the people of south africa, to the people of africa, to the people of the world as to how authorities is to be exercised. >> reporter: almost 60 heads of state including president barack obama and most of the living former u.s. presidents will attend mandela's memorial and funeral services this week. from a massive ceremony at a johannesburg stadium tuesday to lying in state in the capitol pretoria to burial next sunday in his ancestral village in the eastern cape province, it's expected to be one of the largest global gatherings in recent history. >> reporter: you say 11,000 troops? >> 11,000 troops have been deployed. >> reporter: defense minister nosiviwe mapisa-nqakula is overseeing security. she says soldier, the air force, national and city police all are being deployed to control and protect tens of thousands of mourners. >> this is a test for us.

would be here after 2014. no international partners will come. afghanistan essentially will be alone. but we have no other option. >> reporter: american people look at this, all the blood, all the treasure. they here things that karzai says about adding new demands before he signs a security agreement, just a refusal to comply. why can't americans look at that and say it's just not worth it. >> i think that it is a legitimate question, that we should ask that question. is it worth it or not worth it? it needs to be asked and especially in a representative government, a democracy those questions must be asked. so it is now up to president karzai to make a decision. >> reporter: did the u.s. miscalculate in thinking he could be a partner? >> well, he has been a partner. >> reporter: but he surprised the u.s. i'm going to sign this thing, and he didn't. >> we were surprised. and then to have him come back

and try to reopen some of these issues, yes, it was disappointing. yes, it was surprising, but you know, we're dealing with realities that we had before us. >> glor: margaret brennan with secretary of defense hagel today. u.n. weapons inspector arrived this morning in a heavy water production plant near the iranian capitol of tehran. it is one of the sites iran agreed to open up as part of last week's nuclear agreement. elizabeth palmer in tehran tonight. liz, what do we know about what happened? >> good evening, jeff, well, we're past the first hurdle. iran had promised to let the inspectors into this site which is associated with a very controversial reactor which could, when it's working, produce plutonium. they said the inspector kos go in, two of them want in today. and there are talks of their

next going to be allowed to inspect iran's uranium mines which is something the international community would very much like to have a good close look at. >> glor: liz what is the reaction to all of this inside iran? >> reporter: the majority of people see this deal as welcome relief from sanctions. but the hard-liners are very much against it. in fact, president rouhani has been accused by the hard-liners of selling out. so he's got quite a mind field to walk if he's going to make good, not only the promises on geneva but go even further and introduce more reform in the coming months. >> glor: liz palmer from tehran tonight, thank you. anti-government protestors in ukraine today staged a massive rally in kiev, the biggest yet and one of their targets was a relic of the country's soviet past. charlie d'agata has more on the country's growing rift. >> reporter: in tearing down the statue of vladimir lenin, protestors scored a symbolic victory. destroying a hate figure of the soviet era and a powerful reminder of the pro russian

government they're fighting against. they raised an opposition flag in its place. earlier hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered in the biggest show of strength yet denouncing the government's decision not to sign a far reaching trade deal with the european union, favoring instead building closer ties with moscow. matt rojansky director of the kenan institute specializes in the former soviet bloc. >> ukraine has only been independent now for 22 somiers since the collapse of the soviet union. and what this european association agreement offers them is a chance to say look, we've grown-up as a country. our identity is a european country, a modern country. >> reporter: but others don't see it that way, a smaller pro government rally was held nearby. many there believe closer ties to russia are in ukraine's best interests, especially giving their reliance on russian gaps

to keep their homes. despite a crackdown on crowds earlier this week, demonstrations are only getting bigger, upping the ante. today protestors blockaded government buildings with makeshift barricades piling up anything that wasn't nailed down and they're not going away. bowing to keep up the pressure until the president steps down. charlie d'agata, cbs news, london. >> glor: american airlines and u.s. airways are expected to make their merger official before the markets open tomorrow morning. that follows a late challenge last night rebuffed by the supreme court. planers complain it will raise fares, and crowd planes. later books for kids finding plenty of adult readers. and a white house reception for the kennedy center honorees. those stories when the "cbs evening news" continues. eggland's best eggs. better taste. better nutrition. better eggs.
